Product details
Overview
1N4759P/TR12 from Microsemi is a 1.0 W axial-lead silicon Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 62 V, ±5% tolerance (A-suffix), DO-41 package, and 4.0 mA test current (IZT). It provides stable voltage regulation in power supply reference, overvoltage protection, and voltage-clamping circuits across industrial temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4759P/TR12 datasheet, 1N4759P/TR12 pinout, 1N4759P/TR12 application, or 1N4759P/TR12 equivalent, key selection factors include its 62 V zener voltage, 125 Ω dynamic impedance at 4.0 mA, 5 μA reverse leakage at 47.1 V, 70 mA maximum regulator current at 50°C, and DO-41 mechanical compatibility with standard through-hole PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable 62 V reference across a wide current range (1–70 mA), with sharp knee characteristics confirmed by dual-point zener impedance measurement per MicroNote 202. Its thermal resistance is 45 °C/W junction-to-lead (3/8" lead length) and 105 °C/W junction-to-ambient on FR4 board.
The 1N4759P/TR12 exhibits a positive temperature coefficient above 5 V, typical for mid-voltage Zeners, and is rated for -65°C to +150°C operating/storage temperature. It uses void-free thermosetting epoxy case (UL94V-0) with tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and is moisture-sensitive Level 1-no dry pack required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 62 V ±5% at IZT = 4.0 mA - defines precise clamping/reference level under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105°C (3/8" lead) - sets maximum continuous DC power handling before thermal derating |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 125 Ω at IZT = 4.0 mA - indicates low AC impedance for stable regulation under varying load currents |
| Reverse Leakage Current | 5 μA max at VR = 47.1 V - ensures minimal standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Maximum Regulator Current | 70 mA at TA = 50°C - determines peak DC current capability before thermal saturation |
| Forward Voltage | 1.2 V max at IF = 200 mA - defines conduction drop when used in forward-biased protection paths |
| Operating Temperature | -65°C to +150°C - supports deployment in automotive under-hood, industrial control, and aerospace environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4759A | No TR12 tape-and-reel packaging; bulk or ammo-pack only | Lacks standardized reel delivery for automated SMT placement | Select 1N4759P/TR12 for pick-and-place production; choose 1N4759A for manual prototyping or low-volume repair |
| MMBZ5259BS | SOT-23 surface-mount package; 62 V, 225 mW rating; 100 Ω ZZT | Lower power rating and different thermal profile; not mechanically interchangeable | Choose MMBZ5259BS only for space-constrained PCBs where 1 W dissipation is not required |

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4759P/TR12?
The 1N4759P/TR12 has a nominal zener voltage of 62 V with ±5% tolerance, as indicated by the "A" suffix in the part number per JEDEC registration. This means the actual measured VZ falls between 58.9 V and 65.1 V at IZT = 4.0 mA and TL = 25°C. The tolerance is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range of -65°C to +150°C.
Does the 1N4759P/TR12 require dry packing before PCB assembly?
No, the 1N4759P/TR12 is moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it does not absorb significant moisture during normal factory handling and requires no dry pack or baking prior to soldering. This simplifies manufacturing flow and reduces risk of popcorning during reflow or wave soldering.
What is the maximum steady-state current the 1N4759P/TR12 can regulate continuously?
The 1N4759P/TR12 supports a maximum regulator current (IZM) of 70 mA at ambient temperature TA = 50°C when mounted on FR4 board with specified copper pad geometry. At higher temperatures, current must be reduced per the derating curve in Figure 1 of the datasheet to maintain 1.0 W total power dissipation limit.
Is the 1N4759P/TR12 RoHS compliant?
Yes - the "e3" suffix denotes RoHS compliance, and the 1N4759P/TR12 uses annealed matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. While the base part number does not include "e3", Microsemi offers the RoHS-compliant version as 1N4759P-e3/TR12; standard 1N4759P/TR12 may contain leaded terminations unless otherwise specified.
How is polarity marked on the 1N4759P/TR12?
The cathode of the 1N4759P/TR12 is marked by a distinct color band on the plastic DO-41 body. During Zener operation, the banded (cathode) end must be held at a more positive potential than the non-banded (anode) end. Forward conduction occurs when anode is positive relative to cathode, with VF ≤ 1.2 V at 200 mA.
